Jem changes, by getting a new attitude. Now this affects basically everyone because in a way Jem thinks he is old and is now and adult, which he is definitely not yet. Scout is the one that notices these changes the most, because she was the one that used to play with him and now he doesn’t want to play with her because he is maturing. But Calpurnia also notices these changes; because she is the one that helps Scout threw these rough times.
Jem changes in the inside a lot. He becomes a teen and loves to take time and speak with the adukts. This changes though, affect Scout a lot because she notices that he doesn't spend as much time as he used to with her, playing and having fun. She sees that he kind of ignores her because he thinks he's superior. I think that as the book advances he will go changing again and becomin a little boy again in the inside. He will see that his sister is being affected and will change for her.
Just like other teenagers, Jem in the novel starts to grow up and become mature. He starts to think and see the world in a serious way. He starts to be careful and think before he makes a movement. Once in a while, when Scout tries to go ask help from Atticus, Jem stops her from doing it. He is in the process of learning how to self-control himself. We can notice this when he went to read to Mrs. Dubose. Jem starts to realize that there is not only good, but also evil existing in the world in Tom Robinson’s trial. He also recognizes the reality which is the fact that justice can not always overcome crimes and unfairness. He becomes responsible as Scout’s older brother. He does not stay beside her as a playmate, but a protector.
Jem changes in this part of the story quite rapidly. Since he is growing up, his attitude is changing(like most teenagers). He gets easily annoyed by Scout, and her childish ways. He thinks he's all grown up now and that he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, and get his way. Scout cannot stand this at all. She probably thinks that he's becoming too mean and selfish, harsh.
Jem doesn't really know how much he's changed. It's all part of growong up at this age.
Jem changes by wanting Scout to dress more like a lady and behave more like a lady. He also spent more time with Dill in the tree house. When Scout asked him if she could come up, he really did not want to tell her what he and Dill were discussing because she was a girl and would not understand. I agree with Augusta that Jem also began speaking with adults more and spend more time reading magazines instead of playing with Scout.
Jem is changing in many ways since he is going through puberty. He is feeling that Scout should act more lady like since he is around adults more often now and doesn't want to feel ashamed for his sister all the time. He is also changing in his interest. Like Sheril said, Jem is feeling that Scout is too young to know somethings or that she shouldn't know others because she was a girl. He also spend more time reading football magazines and doing "guy" stuff. This causes him to have less time and interest in playing with Scout.
Jem's attitude and temper is changing. He is going through puberty. He starts telling Scout that she should be more ladylike and that she should start growing up. He gets easily annoyed by Scout's childish ways and tells her to stop playing dumb things. He now does more "man stuff" such as reading football magazines. He is starting to be with adults, so his interests and thoughts are changing.
Jem is changing, personality, attitude, and temper. Now he is more angry at times, and his attitude toward Scout changes. He is bossing her around on how she should be more ladylike. He never cared about this before, but suddenly, now he does. I think that Scout notices this and does not like it, obviously, since now Jem does not play with her because "they are games for kids". Calpurnia is a great help to Scout during these times because she's there for her when she needs advice, and is willing to hang out with her when Jem does not want to.
